Claudius de Saint-Simon, Prince-Evêque de Metz is a 1744 ink by Jean Daullé, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait features a man in ornate attire, seated in a chair with his left hand resting on a book. He wears a cross around his neck and has curly hair. The background includes a clock, a draped curtain, and a tassel. The man's clothing and the clock suggest a sense of luxury and refinement. The clock's presence may also imply a sense of time and mortality. The level of detail and realism in this engraving is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialized in this technique, such as Daullé, Jean.
